Кумараком - ідэальнае месца затока

Kumarakom has a wide variety of houseboats. They are used only for tourists these days. A separate boat known as Kettuvallam is used by the people to go fishing or to transport goods. Apart from these, there are elegant special boats like Kochu-odi Vallam, Odi-Vallam, Iruttukutthi Vallam, Churulan Vallam and Chundan Vallam(Snake Boat), which take part in the boat races around Onam time. The Kumarakom boat-race is conducted in the big canal in the centre near the market. There is a private sailing club in Kumarakom, located on the shore of the Vembanad lake.

It is a unique experience that will beckon the visitors time and time again as there are several activities for visitors. The Bird Sanctuary can be visited by canoes, якія могуць быць арганізаваны з мясцовымі рыбакамі на ўваходзе ў сьвятыню. A two-hour rowing canoe trip is quite cheap, і лепш за ўсё ажыццяўляць у вячэрні час або рана раніцай, каб пазбегнуць паўдзённага сонца. Дом лодкі або катэры могуць пакрыць вялікія адлегласці, але каштуюць даражэй на працу.
